VERY early into "Four Gardens" my 4th Dean Street Press book for #DeanStreetDecember this passage suggesting I'm REALLY going to like it. Me being me, the title of the book automatically made me think of the place on the right. 😀 #Reading #middlebrow #bookstodon

@bookstodon

a passage of text on a Kobo Sage e-reader, from "Four Gardens" by Margery Sharp. Text as follows:

Within so complicated a system the inhabitants of Morton had naturally to tread with care; but so practiced were their steps, so keen their social noses, that no gaffe of any magnitude had occurred since 1879. In that disorderly year, indeed, there had been two: the seduction of a Major’s daughter by a chemist, and the engagement of a grocer’s daughter to a gentleman’s son.

A biography I read largely in honour of my late father brought up the halfway mark in my #DeanStreetDecember

3/5 for "Murder Isn't Cricket" by the Radfords. Sadly book 1 of my 2025 #DeanStreetDecember did not bowl me over. One down nine to go. This is now the fourth year for this fun SUMMER tradition 😁

All done with #DeanStreetDecember for 2025. Thanks again to Dean Street Press for the reads. If DS(P)D returns next year, so will this bad penny!

3.75/5 for "Let Him Lie" by Ianthe Jerrold, my penultimate read for #DeanStreetDecember 2025. A beautifully written Clayton's detective story.

After a disappointing start, Book 2 of my #DeanStreetDecember , "The Trail of The Three Lean Men" was a lot of fun. Two down, eight to go

After #DeanStreetDecember 2025, an update on the state of my https://www.deanstreetpress.co.uk/ library. It's in 3 tags: dsp-read, dsptbr, and dsp-dnf. On the left, dsp-read. On the right, dsptbr (atm) I did not screenshot dsp-dnf, because there are only five. 😁
